I was wondering where that issue came from

I had one big problem with VLC, in that it could not figure out which of my monitors I wanted the video to run fullscreen on. That was infuriating to the point I switched to MPV, and I’m very happy with it

Sadly, no

As much as I hate him, a large majority of the games that are given away on that platform are fully DRM-free, and that’s pretty damn cool

One of those times where it sounded perfectly correct in my head, whoops

Others have said all the important things, but I wanted to add that there are things that Android always tunnels through a VPN, like internet connectivity checks.

So even with Always-ON and Block Connections, this will still ignore a VPN

There exists a frontend called Proxitok, but I can’t comment on how well it works or what it can do. The LibRedirect addon for Firefox can redirect you to the instance of your choosing.

Great addon in general, do check it out if you don’t know it already.

I still don’t get how cramming 108MP on this tiny of a sensor is going to help anyone with anything

Firefox (at least on Android), actually violates the GDPR for connecting to Adjust without user consent.

So no need to look further for any privacy shenanigans, this is unbelievably disappointing, coming from Mozilla.

That breaks anonymity, not privacy

Noyb is publishing their articles in both German and English. Good source for news on the latest legal fuckeries of Big Tech and the like

Oh, we’ve been through this though. Which other platform will ever have the cash to be a real contender here?

Kinda sounds like it doesn’t like whatever your phine is doing to optimize background battery usage

It’s a pretty helpful tool, but I still prefer running an LLM locally, even though it’ll take a while to answer, then

It’s nice that the option exists, I didn’t know that. But I have to say, I’m still not a fan of the overall concept of bridges

The whole point of the Beeper App is to let them handle everything, though.

And even if you self-host, you’re still breaking encryption and have to make sure everything is properly secured.

The encryption can’t be end-to-end anyway. If you send messages between services with different encryption protocols, then you trust Beeper to decrypt your message mid-transit, to then re-encrypt it with the protocol of the recipient.

Be so nice to notify your contacts about breaking e2ee then, will ya

reports of building with 16GB and an i7 taking 20 minutes

Which generation i7 though

To think that I have lived years without knowing about those little features like combining title and menu bar to save space
